Forums - Sony - Best Buy to receive new 80GB PS3 SKU after E3, will cost $399

Let me see if I am getting this correct. Sony is going to drop a four hundred dollar limited edition bundle at the same time they are going to offer a price reduction. That makes little to no sense. What makes sense is a limited value increase. Which has been the Sony mantra forever. This is good proof that no price cut is coming.

This counter argument that nobody thinks the price cut is coming at this years event is just bullshit. Do I need to go dig up three hundred comments to prove my point. I have been reading if for a solid month on these forums. Speak for yourself and not for others. The original poster brought this to light, because there is an army of members claiming that this would happen at this years event.

Am I tired of reading it time and again. Yes I am tired of reading flights of fancy. I would say if your going to discuss something let it be something likely. Not something that would be bat shit crazy. Granted Sony can be crazy, but still should we actually entertain the notion. This nonsense climbs into every thread as of late. It is the crux of far too many an argument.

This hating nonsense is just that nonsense. I am not giving Sony hell. I am telling the truth and you think its hell. What I have said hurts your feelings, and instead of asking why your feelings should be hurt. You are instead attacking me, because the truth hurts. It is a machine, and it is a company. Get over the angst, and debate with your head and not your heart.

You raise your blood pressure, and I raise the facts. Who will last longer.

You don't even know what the bundle includes. How can you judge there wil be no price drop. Im pretty sure we had $400 40gb ps3 with a $500 msg4 bundle.   That happened right after the price drop.

Lolol. You get em tiger.

*looks at current 360/Ps3 sales*

 

We all know why the prospect of a Ps3 pricecut gets you fired up. Lol and it's not because you're concerned with Sony.



Is it white????


It doesn't say anything next "Color:" but the paper is white...

And aren't they releasing a white controller in early June or something??? I think this system will be white... You heard it here first falks.

Hmm, is it possible Sony could release this LTD bundle and enjoy sell through for a couple of months and then, as the LTD's availability dries up, introduce a $299 console in September/October?

The pricecut doesn't have to happen at the same time as E3/launch of this LTD bundle; this is what you are struggling to comprehend.

the old PS3 weighed meaning the 60gb,  13lbs this package says 15lbs so it must have a lot of extras in it!!!

nice, and welcome to the site



this actually confirms a price cut, why would a limited edition pack be $399? Even the Uncharted bundle, grant it was 160GB + a game, was $499. I expect a small price cut this E3. Maybe $50 for the normal SKU without a game.

80Gb is quite a bit lighter than 60Gb too ...



The dimensions of the box seem to be that of the current PS3 boxes, doesn't look like a slim version is coming...
